------i'm feeling worse each day on contam (6/day + 6 sinemet). now in addition to depression, constipation, sleeping, 'i'm tasting the med and feel dizzy and have ringing in my ears. this a.m. neurol said stop contam and take sinemet every 3 hrs day and night (he said 7, but that means 8). i specifically asked about tapering contam but he said additional sinemet would cover it. i want to do as he suggests, want to get off contam but package insert does say taper. any experience, ideas, suggestions? thank you nancy spires
